Under California law, if you are caring for a child who is not your own, a Caregiver’s Affidavit will allow you to: 1) enroll the child in school and 2) if you are a relative, consent to medical care on behalf of the child. If you are not a relative, you may consent to school-related medical care only and it is recommended that you obtain legal guardianship.
Download the Caregiver’s Affidavit: English | Spanish All you have to do is sign it and provide it to the school and/or medical personnel.
Under California law, a parent may give you authority to consent to medical treatment for a child in your care. The parent must sign the 3rd Party Consent to Authorize Medical Treatment. A notarized letter from the parent can serve as a third party consent. For non-relative caregivers, a 3rd party consent provides better protection than a caregiver’s affidavit regarding medical care.
